Holdings

He held together with rents and services of all tenants belonging to the manor and hamlet, for life by grant and demise of Master Richard Courtenay, son and heir of my lord (mon ser) Philip de Courtenay , to William and Joan his wife, long since deceased, wardships, marriages and reliefs excepted and reserved to Richard, as is contained more fully in the indenture dated 12 January 1409 shown to the jurors. Richard died and the right of reversion then descended to Philip Courtenay, esquire , who survives, aged 24 years and more, as kinsman and heir of Richard as son of John Courtenay, knight , brother and heir of Richard. Henry V pardoned William for every kind of gift, alienation and purchase of lands and tenements held in chief of ‪Henry V‬ or his ancestors, as is clear fully in his letters patent shown to the jurors [CPR 1413–16, p.390]. He held no other lands or tenements of the king in chief of another in demesne or in service because long before his death, namely before last Easter, by a charter dated at Brimbley, 4 May 1412, and shown to the jurors, he enfeoffed the following men with the following, to hold to the respective feoffees, their heirs and assigns of the chief lords of those fees by the due and customary rents and services. They were and are still seised in their demesne as of fee. The manor, lands and tenements in the hands of these feoffees are held of others other than the king. He enfeoffed William Ekerdon, clerk , Matthew Stoke, clerk , John Colyn , Thomas Norres , all deceased, and John Trelay who survives, with the following. He enfeoffed Peter Sturt, chaplain , Thomas Hertescote , Henry Whytyng and John Trelay , who all survive, with the following.
